OCEAN's Board of Directors has elected Bob Burnett (
@boomer_btc) as Chairman.
Bob has been part of OCEAN from the beginning. He served on our founding Board, was the first miner to put hashrate behind the pool, and found OCEAN's first-ever block.
He brings something particularly valuable for OCEAN's next chapter: experience building and leading technology businesses at scale.
Before founding Barefoot Mining in 2017, Bob spent over 30 years in technology-centric endeavors, including 13 years at Gateway, a Fortune 200 company, where he served as CTO and EVP of Products, led thousands of employees, managed a multi-billion-dollar business, and helped guide one of the defining companies of the PC revolution.
Today, Bob is the founder and CEO of Barefoot Mining and has spent years working toward the same thing that brought OCEAN together in the first place: a more decentralized and resilient Bitcoin mining network.
He knows OCEAN.
He knows mining.
He knows what it takes to build a technology company for the long term.
We're proud to have Bob Burnett serve as Chairman as OCEAN enters its next chapter.
